Today's random playlist is the material I bought for Bandcamp Friday. Which is resulting in a lot of HNW then suddenly stray track from that album of Burmese harp music I bought.

Yeesh, poor Coco! Hope the meds do the trick.

Looking at time and thinking how is it not even 4 yet?? Feels like 5!

Yeah, yeah, joke about age verification while you can, kids!

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

A parody of Wes Streeting's Guardian article with the headline changed to "Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Dick Dastardly. And I never wanted to stop the pigeon - Wes Muttley" "I knew him but not well, and worry now that he thrived in the Vulture Squadron. It was not just failed vetting: there was a failure of moral seriousness." Streeting has been photoshopped with an aviator cap and goggles, along with a red aviator scarf.

A raccoon draws with its paws on a piece of paper. It says “GENERATIVE A.I. IS PART OF AN AUTHORITARIAN CORPORATOCRATIC EFFORT TO CO-OPT AND COMMODIFY THE CREATIVE PROCESS TO RID THE END RESULT - ART- OF THAT WHICH THREATENS ITS EXISTENCE - HUMANITY -

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

So what is weird fiction, anyway? It's when you read weird fiction.

1: Amina talks to Helena who is on a seesaw, high in the air. „Good Morning! What are you doing up there?“ 2: Helena stares to the cloudy horizon. „When I don’t feel great, the seesaw puts everything in perspective.“ 3: „It feels like I’m stuck, but with patience, life will soon resume as normal.“ Amina looks at Helena still high on the seesaw. 4: … on the other seat of the seesaw an old man is sitting, oblivious, feeding birds.

Acceptance, Helena 160.

I was shy about sharing this, but I do think it's a rather nice story

It is, in fact, my first ever short story publication!

I've been rather touched (and occasionally embarrassed) by the positive reactions from people who don't even *have* to say nice things about my writing

Boulet et Bloody Mary buvant un verre à une table de bar. Boulet a un raton laveur sur les genoux et tient une bière, Bloody Mary boit un bloody mary. La vitre en arrière-plan, que l'on lit de l'intérieur, donc à l'envers, indique que le bar s'appelle "Rogatons - café bar brasserie"

Il est (à peu de choses près) 10h, c'est l'heure de faire de l'aquarelle en live !

SARWAR: [loudly] I AM SPARTACUS!

SARWAR: [quieter] I...I am Spartacus?

SARWAR: Anyone... Anyone else feeling like Spartacus right now?

REST OF LABOUR: lol get a load of Spartacus over there

Just catching up with the news.

My first loyalty is to Scotland, says man who appears to hate Scotland.

if your support of trans people is "I support you unless I really like a celebrity", then you don't support trans people. Fuck off.

An opened box containing multiple copies of the hardback edition of Paul McAuley's novel Loss Protocol.

I began to write LOSS PROTOCOL in 2023, and here at last is a box of copies of the finished book. Published, in the UK, on February 12th.

So @discord.com can't keep your data safe, but is insisting you give them your facial scan or ID?

Enjoy your IPO, I guess.

HORSE! is back in stock!
I did a BIG reorder so please grab yourselves a copy. Soon to be restocked in physical stores too!

That weird thing where multiple people in your timeline were at same event but apparently don't know the other party was also there. Social media is funny/fascinating.

Caught up - and it's already 9 pm. #hourlycomic #hourlycomicsday

I'm really happy that we can work together at Tasku for the next half year! #hourlycomic #hourlycomicsday

Ugly quick drawing of myself lying face on floor with a sketchbook, whining how I can't draw shit and everything is ugly and awful.
